  2. Online businesses are prone to hacking and information breach, which makes it critical to have Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). SSL is a cryptographic protocol to secure the communication between the server and the user. Besides safeguarding the data, SSL encryption also enhances the conversion rate of the website, as the green padlock and HTTPS on the website are the determiners of its credibility. Any business that is planning to go online or already having a presence on the World Wide Web must have an SSL protection. Having said that, let’s look at SSL Certificate, its benefits, and types in detail.

  3. What is an SSL Certificate? An SSL certificate is a digital public document testifying the legitimacy of the company that owns the website. It ensures that visitors are landing on the correct website and also protects confidential information such as credit card details and passwords. An SSL certificate is issued by a third party that is a trusted Certificate Authority. The certificate links the domain, hostname or server to the location and identity of the business. The certificate is installed in the web server of the business, so when the user accesses the website, the data exchange and communication between the server and user’s browser is secured.

  4. Types of SSL Certificate The two primary types of SSL certificates are - the basic type and the extended validation. Let’s look at the detailed overview of both the types: Basic A basic SSL certificate verifies the identity of the website by checking if the registered owner has the right to manage the domain name of the website. This is mostly an automated procedure. Once passed, the website displays the secure padlock and URL address also changes to HTTPS. Extended Validation Businesses that want more serious checks opt for an extended validation SSL certificate. Most of the criteria in EV are checked manually, which means the business has to provide corporate documents and a receipt of phone calls made to the listed business number.

  5. An EV certificate allows you to light the browser address bar green and display the legal name of the company alongside the domain name. This adds to the legitimacy of the website. Final Words To ensure safer browsing, Google has started flagging websites that don’t have an SSL certification. Whether you are into healthcare, travel, real estate, finance, e- commerce or any other sector, get an SSL certificate for your website to maintain a credible online presence and earn the trust of visitors.
